Richard Mille presents the RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer in red gold and titanium

Richard Mille unveiled the RM 63-02 Worldtimer in red gold and titanium: an openworked dial with pink and burgundy accents. Price CHF 220,000

Richard Mille has introduced a new edition of its RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer, this time presented in red gold and titanium with an openworked dial characterised by pink and burgundy accents.

The standout feature of the RM 63-02 is its inventive approach to the world-time function. 

Instead of using a crown or pushers to adjust the time, Richard Mille’s movement and case engineers have integrated this mechanism directly into the rotating bezel.

Crafted from microblasted 5N red gold and mounted on ball bearings, the bezel allows the wearer to select a reference city with a simple rotation to instantly display the local time. 

An integrated wheel connected to the hour wheel adjusts the time for the selected city at 12 o’clock while simultaneously updating the other 23 time zones shown on the bezel.

A 24-hour inner ring ensures clear readability across all time zones, while a two-tone pink and burgundy disc distinguishes day from night.

The RM 63-02 features a round 47 x 13.45 mm case milled from satin-finished 5N red gold with polished bevels, paired with a grade 5 titanium caseband whose finishes echo the front.

Assembled with 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium, the three-part case is water-resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet, ensured by two Nitrile O-ring seals.

The large crown is enriched by a burgundy collar made of Alcryn, an advanced material offering the soft feel of vulcanised rubber while guaranteeing superior abrasion and environmental resistance.

A push-button located at 4 o’clock enables selection of winding, hand-setting and neutral functions. A small aperture at 4 o’clock displays the current function: W for winding, N for neutral, and H for hand-setting.

Entirely developed in-house by Richard Mille, the CRMA4 automatic calibre beats at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is built on a baseplate and bridges crafted from grade 5 titanium. 

On the dial side, a large black rhodium-coated bridge with circular brushing reveals the motion of the world-time mechanism’s gears. This striking display enhances legibility and highlights the oversized date.

Positioned at 12 o’clock, the date function features two skeletonised titanium discs, adjusted via a gold pusher on the left caseband, at 11 o’clock.

The fast-rotating barrel ensures a power reserve of 50 hours, wound by a bidirectional rotor in 5N red gold and grade 5 titanium, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.

The exceptional finishing of the CRMA4—from polished bevels and brushed edges to microblasted bridges with PVD and electro-plasma treatments, and circular-brushed wheels—demonstrates the meticulous care devoted to every component.

A limited edition of 100 pieces, the new Richard Mille RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer in red gold and titanium is priced at CHF 220,000, excluding taxes. richardmille.com
